“Wayne Horvitz...has had such an impact on extemporaneous music since the early ‘80s...”

Keyboard Magazine

“There's nobody else out there I hear even attempting to cover some kind of similar range... untethered to form, a sponge for inspiration and recreation, a spirit unabashedly unwilling to stop.”

"This music, as it was on his 2015 release, is pure Horvitz magic, but the harmonic sparseness commingled with sudden sharp melodic rises feels similar to the way the Absaroka Mountains suddenly shoot up from a vast range of farmland, dusted with snow."

He has [d] an evened-out, coherent composing voice that contains [ed] bebop and rock, gospel hymns and country, free jazz and funk and midcentury film music and Charles Ives. There is [was] very little posturing or provocation or wackiness in it.”

"Like all the best art, The Snowghost Sessions improves with each listen, vying hard for the top spot on year-end lists that will be rampant before we know it. Kudos to Horvitz, Harper, and Eagle, and to Songlines Recordings for this gift."

Audiophile Audition
